README misconceptions about shell_gpt

This is highly subjective.

From my equally subjective opinion, I strongly disagree. LLMs are well on their way to replacing traditional search engines and I've all but cut out Google search (and StackOverflow) from my personal workflow, specifically by using this tool.

Managing hallucinations isn't that different from managing misinformation in search engines, you train yourself to be skeptical by default.

Grounding with RAG is also becoming the norm which should further reduce hallucinations and provide real-time information.

The word "query" is used quite a lot, "prompt" is the correct term and is known quite well to the general public

Yes. But currently they are still not quite there

That's a good point but search engines can generally be expected to be managing misinformation, but for LLMs that's not the case by default. The first google result (after ads) usually is trustworthy, but with LLMs it depends on the query and how well it's represented in the dataset.

I think there's no harm in implementing my proposed wording changes but there may well be harm in spreading the belief that LLMs are currently equally truthful as search engines.

Calling it a search engine also implies that results are directly based on a specific source that was found on the internet. You wouldn't call your professor a search engine.

I agree with the point made by @jeanlucthumm.

Managing hallucinations isn't that different from managing misinformation in search engines, you train yourself to be skeptical by default.

The reason it was written this way is that I initially aimed to solve the constant "googling" problem for myself when I started developing ShellGPT. The main use case for sgpt is essentially a replacement for "googling" in my opinion.

Closing this issue as the examples in question appear to have been removed in a prior releases.
